This research delves into the practices of occupational health and safety (OHS) during the construction
of Hydroelectric Power Plants (HEPP), which are noteworthy infrastructure undertakings. Additionally,
it explores the frequency of workplace accidents that result in fatalities and injuries in Türkiye's HEPP
construction projects. The study starts by looking at and analyzing the risks of workplace accidents in
HEPP constructions as well as the precautions that need to be taken to lessen those risks. Data from
2012 to 2022 was taken from the Social Security Institution (SGK) to simplify examining incidents that
happen in HEPP constructions. The causes of these accidents were examined to evaluate possible
preventive actions, and their distribution over time was determined. Additionally, the study assesses how HEPP construction accidents fit into the larger scheme of incidents at work in the Turkish
construction industry. The results show that 4,972 incidents, specifically in HEPP structures, occurred
throughout a ten-year period from 2012 to 2022, or an average of about 1.37 accidents per day. It was
found that 86% of these industrial accidents occurred at the accident site, accounting for around 1.13%
of the fatalities. In addition, limb loss occurred in 0.26% of the incidents. According to the data, about
46.50% of the accidents resulted in harmless injuries, 42.38% in more serious injuries, and 9.71% of the
instances had no information available regarding the degree of injuries. In addition to emphasizing the
lack of thorough, data-driven scientific evaluations targeted at removing risks with the potential to cause
accidents in HEPP structures, the study emphasizes the vital relevance of accident investigations. The
creation of successful measures to avert accidents in the future depends on these kinds of research.
